Description Skye Poier 2006-02-24 00:10:05 UTC

The first time I submitted my PR the captcha said I didn't enter it correctly.
 I'm sure I did.  Cut & paste everything to a new form with a different code
and worked, so seems to be intermittent.

Page had been sitting around for an hour or so - captcha expiry?

Also, there's a bunch of annoying blank spaces in all the textareas on
http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html

Thanks

Yes, the token does indeed expire in some number of minutes; this is why 
we suggest people edit the information offline and then submit.

Well, perhaps the error page should be fixed to say "timeout" or 
"captcha expired" then, instead of "does not match", so that people 
don't waste a bunch of time going back and forth and typing it in over 
and over thinking they're not reading it right, or making a typo, like 
I did.

"Yes, the token does indeed expire in some number of minutes; this is

Nowhere on http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html does it say anything 
about a timeout
